I am a distant cousin of yours the daughter of Norman and Marian Verharst. I remember your coming to our house a few times in Jennings. Dorthy I think you talked to mom several times on the phone after dad Norman Verharst passed and she really enjoyed your conversations. Gary and family so sorry to learn of her passing. We live in Troy Illinois now. I have a picture some where of my dad and your dad on your back porch in Belleville. Rest in peace Dorothy.
